Hi Ron, Your laminate update is exactly the right thing to do. Simple, cost effective and no extra weight. Not at all like replacing a functional top with a few slabs of polished rock or something that looks like it belongs in a condo. I admit to being a bit opinionated around yachts and hat

Re: Stus-List Landfill series

Hi Bill, I didn't think so. The 36 that I was on is a very nice boat to sail, as you expect of a C&C. And there isn't one listed on Stu's site. http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/brochures/brochuresndx.htm Anyone with a brochure out there? Cheers, Russ At 11:37 AM 12/1/2018, you wrot

Re: Stus-List Heavy storms on the West Coast

Hi Marek, Thanks for your concern. And Merry Christmas to all, a turkey is roasting as I write. A wee Nanaimo update: check out this power outage map: https://www.bchydro.com/power-outages/app/outage-map.html (click on the red dots at the bottom of Vancouver Island to zoom in) There are stil

Re: Stus-List yanmar 2gmf in 29-2

Hi Bev, I had a leak at the bleed screw gasket on a filter top. Being the filter between lift pump & injector pump. I verified the location by putting little wraps of paper towel around the system connections. The leak quickly discolours the paper towel, even before you can smell it.

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Hi Shawn, The ad identifies her as a 35 mk-2 and only $30,000. Nice set-up for extended B.C. coastal cruising with solar panels, water maker and Solent jib. The Solent jib is a good choice for short-handed cruising but a PITA for tacking the genoa if it can't be moved aft (not practical with

what I need/want (cockpit enclosure for winter is one), or have a bunch of stuff I don't need, will mean that I must pay more, or allow for additional costs to add things. On Fri, Jan 4, 2019 at 10:18 AM Russ & Melody via CnC-List <<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>cnc-list@cnc

Re: Stus-List 1974 36 mk2 questions

Hi Shawn, Thanks for the update on Calisto. I almost went down to Esquimalt for a look, but better sense got ahold of me. You see, I sold my beloved 35 mk-1, Sweet, last summer because of a cruising boat project sitting in my yard. It is no good owning 2 boats. I have done that three times

Re: Stus-List Keel Bolt Washers

Hi Josh, 316L S/S is better than 316 for welding applications. The L (low carbon) helps prevent rust stains at the weld interface. 304 and even duplex S/S (2205, sometimes called 18-8) will be fine for keelbolt washers if it is all that is available. Cheers, Russ At 08:09 AM 1/1

Re: Stus-List Bilge pump

Hi Josh, Just for fun I dug out an old textbook and estimate that a 1 1/4" through-hull opening about 3' and a bit below the waterline will allow 100-120 gpm into the boat. The Rule 1200 gph hour is probably a lot less after discharge head and hoses losses are calculated into it. If anyone

Re: Stus-List Tablet for navigation

Hi Shawn, I used OpenCPN and Nobeltec quite a fews ago on the West Coast cruise. Main charts were NDI (digital ocean) and Nobeltec vr4. I did say old. I also had C-map 93, more for entertainment and back-up. Ran them on two XP machines, a Dell & ThinkPad. There is an OpenCPN chart download h

Re: Stus-List 37+ Prop Pitch for Universal 35

Hi Chuck, I had a similar situation with my old cruising cutter with a Gori folding prop. At expected RPM the cruising speed was ugly and the engine chugged along like there was no load. Even worse, in a marina I learn to go full speed in reverse just to get a wee bite. In my investigation

Re: Stus-List Touche' steering system disassembly - issues of concern discovered

Hi Dennis, I will guess that the sprocket damage is as you surmise, chain stop bolt riding past the limit. Notice chain link gouge in port side housing too when it rode up on the sprocket. I expect it was an single event while backing down and the person lost control of the wheel. There is

Re: Stus-List Touche' steering system rebuild - update 1

Hi Dennis, I had hull #111, 1972 and the rudder log support arrangement is just like that shown for Touch é including the three short plywood exposed gussets and grey paint. :) Okay, I changed the water-pump grease cup to an industrial style spring loaded unit for auto feed. The "Red &

Re: Stus-List Headstay Bulkhead holding Chainplate Rotten through

Hi Dan, Only ease the backstay a little bit. The normal shroud tension is okay. Cheers, Russ At 05:40 AM 1/30/2019, you wrote: Actually, this is only the backing plate in the photo. At a second glance that last bolt and the plate itself does look rusty. The chainplate is on the other

Re: Stus-List [EXTERNAL] Re: Prepping for 35-1 Keel Bolts/Smile Fix

I've always wondered why there is an insistence amongst some East Coast members to retorque keel-bolts on the hard. On the Left Coast the boats are out of the water for only a day or three and it seems too valuable to do something as mundane as resetting keel nuts! check the chart: https:/
